Hypothesis Our ability to dictate the colloid geometry is intimately related to self-assembly.
The synthesis of anisotropic colloidal particles is currently dominated by wet chemistry and …

Comprehensive understanding of particle motion in microfluidic devices is essential to
unlock additional technologies for shape-based separation and sorting of microparticles like …

When transported in confined geometries rigid fibers show interesting transport dynamics
induced by friction with the top and bottom walls. Fiber flexibility causes an additional …

Modeling diffusion of nonspherical particles presents an unsolved and considerable
challenge, despite its importance for the understanding of crowding effects in biology, food …

A point force acting on a Brinkman fluid in confinement is always counterbalanced by the
force on the porous medium, the force on the walls and the stress at open boundaries. We …

Transport properties of particles in confining geometries show very specific characteristics
as lateral drift, oscillatory movement between lateral walls or the deformation of flexible …

Although the self-alignment of asymmetric macro-sized objects of a few tens of microns in
size have been studied extensively in experiments and theory, access to much smaller …

Flow-stabilized solids (FSS) are a class of fragile matter that forms when a dense
